How Sewer Line Inspection Works in Austin, TX
Ignoring a slow drain near Lady Bird Lake can turn a $300 inspection into a $6,000 excavation. We see it weekly. Here’s exactly how we handle your Sewer Line Inspection:
Step 1: Access Prep — We clear the nearest cleanout (usually outside). You don’t need to do anything—just point us to the side yard.
Step 2: Camera Run — A 200-ft push camera with self-leveling head travels your line. We watch live for cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed pipe. Properties near The Drag often have older clay tile—prone to root damage.
Step 3: Locate & Mark — We use a transmitter to pinpoint the exact depth and location of any break. You’ll see flagged spots in your yard before we discuss options.
Step 4: Report & Plan — You get a digital video with time-stamped footage and a written estimate. Most Austin, TX customers who wait end up paying significantly more.
All work follows Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners standards. We’re licensed, insured, and PHCC members.
